During the last decades the popularity of playing baroque music on original instruments has increased. However, the access to original instruments is very limited. But luckily, many old instruments have been preserved at museums around the world and you can also find detailed drawings of them.

The business concept of TORNEDALENS CEMBALOBYGGERI

is to distribute high quality copies of harpsichords and clavichords based on French, Flemish and Italian models from the 17^th and 18^th centuries.

In the building process we use drawings of historical keyboard instruments and we also make additional studies of the original instruments at the museums where they’re kept. The access to fine records of baroque keyboard instruments is fairly good nowadays.

The instruments are mainly built on the costumer’s order, which means that he or she has a great influence in deciding the design of the instrument.
